MEAN EMPLOYERS.

A large number Of our young men employed
in banks counting houses and stores belong
30 the State militia, and in consequence
have had 10 spend their week at tho Pccltskill
camp. This is important educational
work. 1t is nearly the only opportunity
afforded for learning the detail of military
life. and its use as discipline is great. But
the young men who give week TO this OK
ceptionally hard work cannot fairly be re-
garded as enjoying holiday while they are in
camp. Yet many of their employers choose
so TO regard the matter, and take the oppor-
tunity TO deduct the week Of service in camp
from the annual vacation of two weeks. Now
this would be an act of indefensible meanness
under almost any circumstances, but in the
actual conditions it involves not only mean
ness but lack Of patriotism. IL the employers
who thus practically refuse to recognize the
obligation of their clerks to the State were
foreigners, perhaps their conduct might be
cxcusable, but the ground they take presents
them as poor specimens of American citizens
Tho young men who go to Peokskill or

be arrested for having stolen gooG
in his possession, and finally With s
show Of reluctance, offered to take temporary
charge of it for him. This arrang cement was
made.
Now Scott, albeit villain, was yet kind
hearted villain. His soul revoltcd Mt tho
thought of stealing more than the bank could
conveniently afford to lose. He bethoughs
him Of the suffering he would cause his fellow
clerks. whose salaries would all be reduced if
he took too much. So instead of being hog
and going off with million or two, he put
into his pocket but meagre $15O,O0O. This
he gave Dunn, and il is in order TO secure
a renal accounting from Dunn that, safely
cnsconced in London this precious rascal tells
the story of his crime. The probability that
tho Manhattan Company will recover It's
money does not appear strong, but if tho
publicity given to SCOTS surprising story OF
his ability to steal millions results in devising
some system by which that sort of risk is re-
duced to more reasonable bounds, ii will have
good effect II does seem as if there ought
to be way of protecting depositors against
wholesale dcfalcations on the part Of ordinary
clerks. If they must run this peril from
dishonest presidents and cashiers, they GER
tainly should not have 10 feel that they arc
completely at the mercy OF all the employees
Of bank There ought to be a minimum OF
risk somewhere.

DEFAUL7ER SCOTS STRANGE TALE

DEFAULTER SCOTS STRANGE TALE
Crime assumes many curious phases, bus
one more strange than that revealed by the
confession Of the dctaultcr Scott rarely comes
to light. 1t is not particularly odd that
Scott was a knave or that he committed his
defalcation upon the advice OF another knave
bat tho combination Of circumstances which
made his crime possible is remarkable If 1t
exists generally in institutions which profess
to take care Of depOsitOrs funds, it will not
be welcome intelligence to the public.
Scott was the paying teller Of the Manhattan
C0mpany's bank, where he had been employed
aud trusted for twenty years. In juno,
1885, he disappeared, and his accounts were
found to be short about 100000. Two
months ago he sent confession TO Consul
General Waller at London, where he has been
living since he escaped from Canada. The
sole motive of his confession seems 10 be a
desire to avcnge himself upon John r. Dunn,
a lawyer Of this city and a cousin Of SCOTS
wife, with whom the defauter claims TO have
left the stolen money Dunn, it seems, has
refused to give it up, on the ground that he
has lost 1T in speculation, and Scott sensible
of the fact that his reputation as a thief is
already made and that he has nothing TO lose
by confession, has volunteered his statement
in order that the thief who robbed him OF
what he stole from the bank may suffer the
punishment he has himself escaped. The old
adagc that when thieves fall out honest men
get their due could have no more striking il
lusiratiOn.
There is nothing improbable in the truan.
scoundrcps story 1t recites that for ten
years he had been stealing small sums from
the bank, the discovery of which became
at last so imminent that he unbosomcd HIM
self TO Dunn and implored his counsel and
assistance. Dunn saw no way Of making good
the deficit, and so he naively suggested that
Scott might as well be killed for an old
sheep as lamb, and asked him how much Of
tho banks money he could lay his hands on.
Scott made the amazing reply that he could
easily take from 100000 to $3,0oO,OO0,
WHICH, If it indicate the average possibility
OF dishonest bank clerk, is statement thai
tho public needs carefully to consider. Dunn
advised him that embezzlcmcnt was not an
eXtraditable offence and urged him to pick
up million or so and run off TO Canada
With great prudence and cousinly good feel.
ing, however, Dunn feared that it would not
DO safe for him to carry all this
money on his person, as he might

elsewhere every year to learn drill and discl-
pine and man9uvres are taking all this pains
to the end that in an emergency they may
be prepared to defend the very men who dock
their vacation so meanly The militia are the
reserve defence of property They aac the
safeguard and protection of all the banks and
offices and stores whose proprietors and prin-
cipals grudge them the week they devote TO
public duty. Yet it is just such misery people
who arc always complaining about the mai
administration which, nine times out OF ten,
is mainly due TO their own selfish absorption
in their private affairs. If they would do
their own duty as citizens better we should
al have cheaper and more honest govern
mcnt, and in that case they would probably
realize the true relations of the militia to
their belongings sufficiently to perceive that
in treating the State troops so shabbilv thev
arc guilty not alone of q mcanness but OF
great stupidity. Let us hope that neXt year
no firm whose employees have to go to camp
will count that time as part of the summer
vacation.

that their principal work would come when

one element of discord, but 1t will not appar-
emily lead to complete harmony among those
who remain. The desire to catch the farmer
vote, the avowed reason for getting rid Of

hopeless one for convention which adopts
